🍇 Pinot Noir at Altitude – Elegance Meets Precision from the Edge of the World
✨ In the Glass
Deep garnet with ruby edges, showing clarity and intensity—a visual promise of depth and finesse.
👃 On the Nose
A complex bouquet of ripe red cherries, black raspberries, and wild thyme unfolds alongside subtle layers of baking spice, graphite, and forest floor. A hint of rose petal adds an ethereal lift.
👅 On the Palate
Silken and concentrated, the palate reveals vibrant red fruits, crushed herbs, and fine spice woven through supple tannins. A mineral undertow and lively acidity give structure and poise, finishing long, savoury, and seductive.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Ideal with duck confit, venison loin, roast lamb with rosemary, or mushroom and truffle risotto.
⏳ Ageing Potential
Beautiful now, with the potential to evolve gracefully over the next 8–10 years.
